meow-lightbox.php has the wrong version number.

Hi Jordy,

Problem fixed. But beware, the version number in the product’s page is still 5.01. The zip file name indicates 5.02 but no automatic update occurs. I noticed the update by looking at the last updated field in the plugin page. So, I downloaded the zip file and overwrote version 5.01.

Thanks.

I made the following simple test :

function my_filter_title( $title, $id, $meta ) {
return ‘<i>’ . $title . ‘</i>’;
}

Even this doesn’t work. The displayed title under the photo is

<i>Title</i>

Hi Jordy,

Have you tried with the latest version released recently?

Both Meow Gallery and Meow Lightbox are up-to-date (version 5.01). I tested yesterday.

If you or someone else could make a quick test of the mwl_img_title filter by inserting simple HTML code in the title, this could help determine whether the problem is actually with this filter or with something else in the WordPress setup. However, it seems that I’m not alone with this issue.

Thanks.

The latest release of version 5 still has the problem of not interpreting HTML code inserted into the image Title via the mwl_img_title filter.

See https://www.dropbox.com/s/vchiyla9gab54c3/MLB%20Bug.jpg?dl=0

Version 4.05 installed. Problem not fixed. Back again to 3.2.2.

Hi Jordy,

I’m surprised to not get any answer to my questions. Our host service usually asks us, for the sake of security, to update our plugins as soon as new releases appear. In this case, we can’t until the problem is fixed or until we drop the use of the mwl_img_title filter.

The Meow Gallery is still working well even when version 4 of Meow Lightbox is installed. Maybe version 4 has a compatibility issue with another plugin that we are using but I don’t see which one could interfere. Since version 3 is still working well, I suspect that there’s a change in v4 that causes the problem. On our side, nothing has changed between v3 and v4. The problem appears to be clearly located : in v3, the HTML code embedded in the title returned by the mwl_img_title filter is correctly interpreted. In v4 it is not.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Jordy,

We need to switch back to version 3. With version 4 the problem is still as shown by the screen capture posted above. Maybe there’s a conflict with something else that doesn’t appear with version 3. I doubt. WordPress, Astra and Elementor are up-to-date and I don’t see what plugin could conflict with Meow Lightbox.

Jordy,

I may have misunderstood your last message.

This is not the Meow Lightbox

Does this mean that it’s not Meow Lightbox’s fault or do you mean that this is not Meow Lightbox that is running ? I insist : no problem when returning to version 3, problem re-appearing immediately when installing version 4 (all caches cleared after each installation).

The code of the mwl_img_title filter is available here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/99fbxrk33n01lhc/mwl_img_title_filter.php?dl=0

Please disregard the $GLOBALS[‘showauthor’] variable, which is set elsewhere in functions.php.

This code works with both versions 3 and 4. Just, the HTML is not interpreted in version 4.

I should add that if I switch the theme option from Dark to Light in the Meow Lightbox settings, the new theme is taken into account and reflected when the image is zoomed (after clearing the caches). So, the Meow LB is at work, no doubt.

I am not sure why I received a message from you, in my emails it looks different from what I have here.

This is because I left the photo club for which I developed the site. But I’m still helping them when problems appear. Hence the different email address.

This is not the Meow Lightbox ??

I don’t understand. I’m using the Meow Lightbox mwl_img_title filter to format the image title. So the Meow Lightbox is active in both cases. When using version 3 the HTML code is interpreted and when using version 4 it is not. Nothing has changed in the code. If you want I can send you the code if you want to check.

Moreover, if I comment out the Meow Lightbox filter (mwl_img_title) in functions.php and clear all caches, everything is back to normal because the default title formatting of Meow Lightbox is used (butof course, I don’t get my custom title). If I re-enable the filter the problem re-appears. Which demonstrates that Meow Lightbox is active : how could the mwl_img_title filter be used otherwise ?

Hi Jordy,

After reading your message this morning, I went to our site where everything was working well using Meow Lightbox version 3. Then I installed version 4.0.4, cleared the Meow Lightbox cache, the browser cache and the server cache (we are hosted by WPServeur). Immediately, the problem was back.

Just go to this gallery CdF2022 Couleur Papier – Club CAPC (capcgaleries.org) and click on any thumbnail in the gallery. You’ll see the problem. Actually, you can go to any gallery on the site, the problem appears everywhere. You can visit many galleries while not being logged in (I tested in logged in and not logged in mode).

I will leave Meow Lightbox version 4 running during 24h but then I’ll have to return to version 3.

Thanks.

The problem is marked as resolved with version 4.0.4 although it is not, as the above uploaded screen capture demonstrates.
